Attempting to Use Iron Leaves in Pokemon Showdown

#pokemonshowdown
Iron leaves is garbage, but its barely usable garbage!
This team tries to punish bug moves with Glimmora and Ferrothorn.

I use it with cyclizar and u turn tapu koko in natdex, it shreds through teams

[@boop53]

tha tapus are really cool pokemon, i wish they’ll come back to gen 9. Tapu Lele + Armurouge would go crazy

[@blip_exists]

Cyclizar does seem like it would partner well with Iron Leaves, as both of the most threatening bug type moves (uturn and first impression) are only a threat for one turn.

I find that Iron Leaves is really good in AAA, but yeah I also find him as really hard to use.

[@blip_exists]

How do you us Iron Leaves in AAA? That seems quite interesting.
And yah, a 4x bug weakness does things to a Pokemon.

@@blip_exists It's mostly a Sharpness abuser but it makes good use of both that and Electric Surge

[@birdofterror6628]

@@blip_exists Sharpness, Adaptability, Hadron Engine, or Protean are decent choices for the boy. Though Protean with choice scarf is also key to catching both defensive and offensive threats off guard.

[@blip_exists]

Ooh yah, Protean sounds great! Getting rid of that bug weakness mainly. AAA sounds really neat for stuff like this.

[@blip_exists]

Is there any reason for Electric Surge instead of Hadron Engine?
And wow, Sharpness Psyblade sounds like such a killer move.
